What is "SaaS"?

"Software As A Service" is simply a model for deploying applications. Many companies come to us with concepts they want to deploy to their customers via a "service on demand" rather than supplying customers with a physical disc of software.

Why bother? Because if you host an application online as a service you do not have the deployment headaches of a desktop application, you are able to charge recurring monthly fees for a service rather than a one-time licensing fee, and you have total control over your application and who has access to it.
